Can recall 26V005 make my Range Rover Sport a lemon in California?

Not by itself. A recall repair that fails, or repeat dealer visits for the same defect, can support a California lemon law claim.

Owners often ask whether this labels recall means their Range Rover Sport qualifies as a lemon. Not by itself. Song-Beverly looks at whether a defect covered by the warranty substantially impairs use, value or safety and was not fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).

What matters for a lemon law claim is not the recall label but whether the defect substantially impairs the 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and whether the dealer can fix it in a reasonable number of tries.

This is not the first recall for this problem. When a manufacturer has to recall the same labels again, that suggests the earlier fix did not work. If your 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has had this repair more than once, keep every repair order.

Earlier campaigns on these vehicles involving the same component: 20V586000.

Civil Code 1793.22(b) sets out a presumption that applies in the first 18 months or 18,000 miles: two or more repair attempts for a defect likely to cause death or serious bodily injury, four or more attempts for the same defect, or more than 30 total days out of service for repairs. Written notice to the manufacturer is required in some cases. Owners outside that window can still have a claim.

An owner who prevails in a lemon law case can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.
